Fed Chairman's comments push up red metal prices


Weak dollar also aids in prices moving up Copper prices ended higher on Monday, 26 March 2012 at Comex. Copper started the new week on solid footing on Monday, rallying by its most in more than two weeks as the dollar weakened after remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reaffirmed the U.S. central bank's accommodative monetary stance. His comments helped to ignite a risk-on rally across the broader market, sending industrial metals, and U.S. equities all higher on the hopes for further monetary easing from the Fed. Copper for May delivery ended higher by 8 cents (2.1%) at $3.89 a pound at Comex on Monday. It fluctuated between $3.7950 and $3.8940 throughout the day. For February 2012, copper had gained 2.2%. Red metal prices for three-month-delivery at LME rose $153 (1.8) to $8,533 a metric ton on Monday. Copper has gained about 10% this year, spurred by improved U.S economic data, ultra-loose monetary policy in the western world and moves to stem Europe's debt crisis.

Gold for April delivery ended higher by $23.2 or 1.4%, to end at $1,685.6 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Monday. Prices shed 1.7% on the month of February 2012.

Sensex slumps on GAAR jitters...Nifty ends below 5200


It was a sea of red on Dalal Street on Monday as the key equity benchmarks lost altitude amid sustained selling pressure. Sentiment was hit by media reports that the proposed General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) could affect FII investments through participatory notes (P-notes), which runs into billions of dollars. The GAAR comes into effect from April 1. FIIs are worried that the Government could raise tax demands as a result of these new provisions. Under the proposed GAAR, the country's income tax department will have the power to deny individuals and entities the benefits of any tax avoidance treaty. Market insiders warn that fresh P-note issues could be hit badly from April until there is clarity on the matter. The BSE Sensex ended at 17,053, down 309 points or ~1.8% over the previous close. It had earlier touched a day’s low of 17,021 and a day’s high of 17,377. It opened at 17,377. The NSE Nifty settled at 5,184, down 94 points or 1.8% over the previous close. It earlier touched a day’s low of 5,175 after opening at day’s high of 5,275.

GAARbled…lack of clarity!


More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity- Francois Gautier. Concerns and confusion surrounding the proposed GAAR norms for FIIs spooked the sentiment in the Indian market on Monday. Market players are looking for clarity on whether FIIs coming through Mauritius and those investing via Participatory Notes will be taxed from April 1 under the so-called GAAR. The undertone will remain a wee bit nervous till the mandarins in the Finance Ministry clarify on this matter. The opening today looks opposite of what we saw on Monday. A good start is in the offing thanks to the overnight bounce on Wall Street. Dovish remarks from Fed chairman Ben Bernanke about the US economy and monetary policy lifted Wall Street. European markets gained on reports that Germany is prepared to boost the financial firewall to prevent a debt contagion. Positive data on German business confidence also helped. Most Asian benchmarks are trading higher this morning, spurred by Bernanke's comments. South Korea's consumer confidence rose to the highest level in four months.
